  • Iowans Challenge State's Termination of Critical Health Care Services
    Press contact, Jane Hudson, Executive Director, Disability Rights Iowa, [email protected]; 515-278-2502 x 20 Iowans Challenge State’s Termination of Critical Health Care Services Des Moines, Iowa, June 13, 2017 – A group of Iowans with disabilities today lodged a class action lawsuit in federal court to stop Governor Kim Reynolds and Department of Human Services Director Charles Palmer from arbitrarily ending or reducing Medicaid services. Six Iowans represented by three legal groups argue that the administration has violated federal laws and the US and Iowa constitutions by ending or reducing critical home and community-based Medicaid services. Without these services, these Iowans, and other likes them, would be segregated from their communities and confined in hospitals, nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities. Since former Governor Branstad and Director Palmer handed over Iowa’s Medicaid system to private for-profit managed care companies on April 1, 2016, the companies have complained that they have lost millions of dollars. The State has bailed them out at least twice. The companies have also tried to contain their costs by minimally paying for home and community- based waiver services even though the actual needs for these services are much greater. Cutting costs in the absence of changes in condition and without notice to the recipients violates the laws and the constitutions. The complaint alleges that the Defendants have violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Medicaid Act. In addition, the Defendants have violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and the Iowa Constitution and the Medicaid Act by failing to give the Plaintiffs and others legally required notice of the terminations and reductions and the opportunity to contest such decisions.

This report is available on the World Wide Web at http://repositories.cdlib.org/ctcre/tcpmus/IA2009/. Reports on other states and nations are available at http://repositories.cdlib.org/ctcre . EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Iowa was a tobacco control leader in the 19th Century. In 1897 the General Assembly completely prohibited the use, sale, and possession of tobacco products in the state. When the law was repealed in 1921, the General Assembly enacted strong measures to prevent tobacco use by minors. In 1921 Iowa passed the first state cigarette excise tax (2 cents). Tobacco control reemerged in the 1970s, however a coalition of health groups were consistently outmaneuvered by tobacco industry lobbyists. In 1990 health groups attempted to strengthen Iowa’s Clean Indoor Air Act (passed in 1987), however the tobacco industry, represented primarily by Charles Wasker, co-opted the bill, stripping meaningful tobacco control provisions and using it to include ambiguous language to preempt localities from passing clean indoor air laws, which chilled local clean indoor air action for a decade.

  • A Communication Strategy for Roxanne Conlin Candidate for U.S
    UNIVERSITY HONORS IN PUBLIC COMMUNICATION A Communication Strategy for Roxanne Conlin Candidate for U.S. Senate written by April Saylor with Professor Dotty Lynch advising Spring 2010 A Communication Strategy for Roxanne Conlin, Candidate for U.S. Senate Introduction It’s an interesting fact that no woman has ever run for national political office from Iowa and won. Roxanne Conlin- an Iowa trial lawyer, former US Attorney, and past Democratic nominee for Iowa governor- could be the first to break the state’s highest political glass ceiling. Research has shown that women running for office face a much different electoral terrain than their male counterparts. Therefore, Conlin’s campaign for U.S. Senate is an exceptional example of the delicate maneuvering that must occur whenever a woman decides to run for office, especially in a state where voters may not be familiar with women in positions of such high leadership. This project is a realistic communication plan that Conlin’s campaign could use if she goes on to the general election to challenge Republican incumbent Chuck Grassley. This project is grounded in the assumption that Conlin wins the Democratic primary and goes on to challenge Republican Senator Chuck Grassley in the general election. It is a strategic communications plan for Conlin, and makes a unique effort to balance a messaging strategy between agentic and communal traits, or otherwise risk alienating voters by seeming either too “aggressive” or too “passive.” Because women have rather recently integrated into American politics, women running for office face additional gender stereotyping from the media, voters, and even party establishments.
